This paper is devoted to the study of isometrically homogeneous spaces from the view point of metric geometry. Mainly we focus on those spaces that are homeomorphic to lines. One can reduce the study to those distances on $\R$ that are…
Some concepts, such as non-compactness measure and condensing operators, defined on metric spaces are extended to uniform spaces. Such extensions allow us to locate, in the context of uniform spaces, some classical results existing in…
In this paper we study the mapping properties of the averaging operator over a variety given by a system of homogeneous equations over a finite field. We obtain optimal results on the averaging problems over two dimensional varieties whose…
We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…
We detect Hilbert manifolds among isometrically homogeneous metric spaces and apply the obtained results to recognizing Hilbert manifolds among homogeneous spaces of the form G/H where G is a metrizable topological group and H is a closed…
Uniformly finite homology is a coarse invariant for metric spaces; in particular, it is a quasi-isometry invariant for finitely generated groups. In this article, we study uniformly finite homology of finitely generated amenable groups and…
We show that every infinite crowded space can be mapped onto a homogeneous space of countable weight, and that there is a homogeneous space of weight continuum that cannot be mapped onto a homogeneous space of uncountable weight strictly…
The article studies the reiterated homogenization of linear elliptic variational inequalities arising in problems with unilateral constrains. We assume that the coefficients of the equations satisfy and abstract hypothesis covering on each…
In this paper we study the set of balanced metrics (in Donaldson's terminology) on a compact complex manifold M which are homothetic to a given balanced one. This question is related to various properties of the Tian-Yau-Zelditch…
In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture, we show that if X is an n-dimensional homogeneous metric ANR compactum and x\in X, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the cohomological properties of…
Asymptotic solutions are derived for inhomogeneous differential equations having a large real or complex parameter and a simple turning point. They involve Scorer functions and three slowly varying analytic coefficient functions. The…
This paper is devoted to the study the $m$-point homogeneity property and the point homogeneity degree for finite metric spaces. Since the vertex sets of regular polytopes, as well as of some their generalizations, are homogeneous, we pay…
This is a survey paper on our recent works concerning the classification of positively curved homogeneous Finsler spaces, and some related topics. At the final part, we present some open problems in this field.
For every finitely generated abelian group G, we construct an irreducible open 3-manifold $M_{G}$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set and with end homogeneity group of $M_{G}$ isomorphic to G. The end homogeneity group is the…
A homogeneous Gibbons-Hawking ansatz is described, leading to 4-dimensional hyperkahler metrics with homotheties. In combination with Blaschke products on the unit disc in the complex plane, this ansatz allows one to construct…
In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture \cite{bb}, we show that if $X$ is an $n$-dimensional homogeneous metric $ANR$ compactum and $x\in X$, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the…
A brief summary of results on homotheties in General Relativity is given, including general information about space-times admitting an r-parameter group of homothetic transformations for r>2, as well as some specific results on perfect…
We discuss some finite homogeneous structures, addressing the question of universality of their automorphism groups. We also study the existence of so-called Kat\v{e}tov functors in finite categories of embeddings or homomorphisms.
A non-trivial separable metric space $X$ is called an almost homology $n$-manifold if the homology groups $H_k(X,X\backslash\{x\},\mathbb Z)$ are trivial for all $x\in X$ and all $k=0,1,..,n-1$. We provide a necessary and sufficient…
We solve the equations of topologically massive gravity with potentially non-vanishing cosmological constant for homogeneous metrics without isotropy. We only reproduce known solutions. We also discuss their homogeneous deformations,…
